Martinez is this week’s guest on our “Old Baseball Cards” show and he finds plenty of teammates as we open up a couple packs of cards. He opened some 1987 Topps (yes, behold the wood paneling) and I opened some 1990 Upper Deck. We found plenty of Martinez’s old teammates, one the hardest hitters he’s ever seen and one of the fastest guys he’s ever played with.

We also pulled off a trade with a lot of baggage.

If this is your first time seeing our show, welcome. It all started with cards my grandma bought back in the junk wax era. They aren’t worth anything these days, so we decided to open them with players, managers and famous fans in pursuits of stories, memories and nostalgia. We’ve done plenty of great episodes you should check out, just look below.
